WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh December 14th, 2016

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, The Hill dot Com is reporting, and Democrats are

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>grappling with how to learn the right lessons from Trump selection.

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:09.040
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to figure out how to avoid taking the

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:13.560
<v Speaker 1>wrong lessons into the next presidential race. Joe Trippy, who

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 1>ran Howard Dean's failed campaign, says Hillary could have won

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 1>if just a small number of voters in key states

0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>have voted the other way. So Trippy warns that making

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>big changes could be dangerous. He said, everybody can point

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 1>to something that went wrong and they're right. Since lots

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>of things did go wrong, it makes it impossible to

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>know what the party really needs to do now. Adding

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>to the Democrat woes, they don't have a clear leader

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>once Obama leaves office other than him. Democrats worry that

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>if they try to appeal to the rust belt votes

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>to put Trump over the top, they risk alienating their

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 1>black and Hispanic base. The right lessons Democrats could learn

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>are obvious. For instance, how about putting aside identity politics

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and embracing policy is good for everybody, Or how about

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>abandoning class warfare and the big government welfare state mentality

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>in favor of policies that would grow the economy for everybody.

0:01:08.880 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>But grapple as they might, they will not learn the

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>right lessons because they will never in a million years

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 1>admit the truth. Their problem is liberalism, and they are liberals.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>They're doomed, they are forever doomed. Hopefully m
